I recently found out, from a very well respected "source", that Greg is currently seeking his next show - and it could be with Smooth Radio (not certain though), but I have a feeling that anyone interested in hearing Greg anytime soon, will have to keep asking Smooth Radio .... "Where is Greg Edwards?" as they may be dragging their heels, and anyway, currently Andy Peebles has the 6 - 9 Saturday slot with his "Soul Train" show and as my "source" says, Smooth may be happy with Andy Peebles' style.

I wasn't this source - but I can confirm that Greg's agent has approached Smooth many months ago putting Greg forward however nothing has come of it. It was simply a touting letter sent from the agent to the management at Smooth Radio.

Hi VR4,
Thanks for your information, its very interesting.
I have already emailed Smooth to alert them (if they did'nt know already) of Greg's available position, and the value which he could bring to Smooth and complement their line - up.
I really think that not only would 'Greg on Smooth', be a great combination, but he really would be good for them - (especially liven up their Saturday evenings anyway).
I think we need to get as many people as posible to email smooth and let them know that Greg is out there and at the moment there is an opportunity to make a great addition to the station.
I sent my email to:
Paul Fairburn - Station Director of Smooth Radio mail@paulfairburn.com
I suggest, anyone wishing to hear Greg any time soon on the radio, should send Smooth, a similar, short, polite email, and hopefully they may get the message.

You'd be better sending it to Paul.Fairburn@SmoothRadio.com then hacking him off sending a Smooth mail to his 'home' / 'freelance' email.
Also Paul doesn't hire and fire - it's all dictated from John Simons as to who is on the Smooth stations.
Missing Greg BADLY, now..............................Ive listened to him since Capital 194 on Medium Wave in 1979.....................................he may be enjoying semi-retirement!!! We may not get him back................................................................

Greg will be back on the radio next week March 11th 8pm-10pm on internet radio station Morpher Radio, I am not sure if this is a one off show or a regular slot!! But it will be nice to hear him back at the mike after a long time away!!
Just another update for all Greg Edwards fans, He will be back on Jazz-Fm sunday 28th March 10am-1pm sitting for Robbie Vincent, And about time too!!!!!
Gregs done the last couple of weeks shows for Robbie Vincent, on the Sunday mornings at 10 on JAZZFM; Robbies not very well at the moment, so he may be filling in for another couple of weeks............
Well it look's like Greg has moved on from Jazz-fm, Mike Vitti is sitting in for Robbie Vincent this sunday 10am-!pm and then I understand Jeff Young is taking over the show untill Robbie returns,
Just a quick heads up for all fans of Greg Edwards, He will be a guest DJ on the Craig Charles's Soul All Nighter on BBC R 2 next saturday Its starts at 10pm on R2 and i beleive Greg is on from 1am-2am
Oh, how I miss him too. The weekend is just not the same without him. Thank goodness I recorded lots of his shows.
IIs there any chance you could upload some of Greg’s (Greg Edwards) soul spectrum (Captial radio) via forum. I can’t find any except a small you tube piece.
Thanks
Yes I've been listening the last couple of weeks to Mike Vitti and Greg Edwards on Mi-soul, I get it via tunein app on my phone and bluetooth it to my hifi
